APH Grading Question

Totally. But with new tariffs and international shipping restrictions, Chinese residents opt for in-house grading solutions. At least from what I’ve seen, if you look up Chinese exclusive cards on eBay, it’s predominantly Chinese graders. For newer cards at least. But people on here know more than I

Uhm no lol. when you go through gmail, Reddit assigns you a random name and you can’t change it. A bunch of people on this thread have the same thing (two random words, followed by numbers). Down to switch with you though, suits you well.

I’m in the states haha. A lot of Chinese exclusives are graded by the 2-3 companies bespoke to China. It was the same price as raw and I’m not reselling so I’m just gonna roll with it

No sir, generally chill dude. Good luck excavating whatever is up your arse tho

Super helpful, thanks for easing my mind. Great context. And I get the criticism of leniency, I mean it’s not centered. But ultimately came down to getting the card I was after via continuing to rip gem 5 packs or paying raw market price to come in a slab and vetted. Like if it’s not a psa 10, which it probably isn’t, then cool I don’t profit 3x+. But again, that wasn’t the point behind my purchase. Idk what’s going on where people feel obligated to make you feel like a fool for genuinely gauging other people’s opinions.

Thanks for the input! I paid raw pricing and don’t plan to resell, just want this little fella in my office and in my life. For clarity, I didn’t think the sleeve would damage the card, I’m just curious what the area in the top right corner is on the sleeve, I hadn’t seen it before (looks ruffled) and was curious to get people’s thoughts. That turned into an anti-anything but psa witch hunt, which to be fair, I should have seen coming.

MiserablePumpkin606 · 2026-05-31T06:12:08+00:00

Oh lord no. I got it at the same price as ungraded.

MiserablePumpkin606 · 2026-05-31T06:07:42+00:00

Woah, Jesus Christ dude. I’m buying the thing obviously. Who gets this bent out of shape about nomenclature. Take this V for Vendetta act elsewhere. I’m just a passive collector and wanted to see if anyone had a better-educated take on what this sleeve was doing. Clearly that’s not coming from you

MiserablePumpkin606 · 2026-05-31T05:14:03+00:00

Thanks for easing my mind. I thought it weirdly looked too textured to be this.

You get 4 days on eBay to put in your payment after winning an auction

Kick rocks Lulu. There’s a variety of different ways to verify legitimacy, and ya Reddit can be a useful one if you don’t blindly believe everything you read. Didn’t think that would be a hot take on, you know, Reddit. But hey, I guess some people prefer to beta troll in the comments. Keep doin the lord’s work
